Did you know up to 70% of composite restorations fail due to secondary decay? By incorporating bio-active materials into your protocol you can rest easier knowing the materials you are using protect against secondary decay and promote healing of the natural tooth structure.

Do you remember the days of rotary telephones? Technology is constantly evolving, and light curing should too! Curing technology has remained largely unchanged over the last decade. In this presentation you will be introduced to an evolution in light curing. One that overcomes the limitations of curing lights as we know them. Review the critical criteria of evaluating curing lights and how you can achieve better depth of cure, higher conversion (hardness), with less shrinkage (associated with sensitivity and failure.)

Dentists use many tools to decrease local anesthetic injection pain for patients, including the use of topical anesthesia, plain solutions, smaller needles, and computer controlled devices. However, a commonly used technique of delivering a counter stimulus, either by wiggling the patient's cheek or better yet by using a vibration device could be an important factor in improving the local anesthetic experience.
